I Just want to be


When it comes to you, I can't really dream big.
When the matter involves you, I can't even stand out
Whenever you are involved, I am not allowed to aim high

I'm not begging to be part of the names in your "acknowledgement"
I'm not on my knees so you can dedicate your book to me
All I am asking for is just to be;

A chapter in your book,
A page in your prose work,
A line in your verse,
A scene in your act,
A rhyme scheme to your poem,
A cast with a modest character in your drama.

I don't care whether you include my name in the prologue or epilogue,
I don't give a **** whether it is comedy or tragedy
I just want to be a page in your book.
I wrote this when I felt my love was one sided and the man I was dying for doesn't even care. It's so sad to be in one sided love, it hurts and it's very painful.

Agony!!

My sunken and swollen eyes tell the tale of pain and hurt
The wrinkles and lines that designed my face, are the marks left behind by unspoken hardship I have been through.

how can I explain to the world the shame and hardship I have experienced?
how can I tell you the agony I have undergone?

everyone has a story to tell but mine is characterized by agony, pain and suffering
a life filled with regrets and failure.
A life where agony dictate my path.

— The End —
